Abstract

Objectives: Mannose-binding lectin and macrophage migration inhibitory factor gene polymorphisms are associated with several acute/chronic autoimmune or inflammatory diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate if there was any association between mannose-binding lectin 2 (MBL2) and macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) gene polymorphisms and profound congenital sensorineural hearing loss in children who underwent cochlear implantation.
